Besides the United States there is
no nation in the world which has a
revenue of s8,000,00 month in the
excess of the need of the government.
The United States also has the
unique distinction of being the only
government in the world that has a
national legislature unequal to the
task of stopping this unnecessary
drain on the peoples pocket. This
is congressional trihing carried to
ridiculous excuses.

1t is rather common to resist the
payment of debts by lodging, but it
isn't often that payment is resisted
with rifles. Muhlenburg county, Ky.
subscribed s750,000 to railroad, but
her citizens now refuse to pay. Three
hundred of them, armed with rifles,
are ready to resist any effort to col
lect the debt, as it will take all the
property in the county to pay the
debt.

The town Of Oxford, n. c., was
fired by negro incendiaries because
one OF their number, a noted desper-
ado, was put in Jail and threats of
lynching were made. During the
fire the negroes refused to assist in
putting it out. Large sums we're Of
fered if they would help, but they
refused. Troops are OH duty.
Trouble is anticipated. The loss is
about 100000, and only $4,000 in
Surance.

Owing to an inadequate clerical
force in the pension Office it is said
that it will be impossible to take up,
for perhaps a year yet, the cases of
those entitled to bounties under the
law the recent Mexican pension ap-
preparation. Under the law the APP
preparation is only available until
June 80, 1888. There is possibili-
ty, therefore, that many Of the pen
sioncrs, if they get anything, will be
compelled to trust to future con-
crosses for another appropriation.

A Volume in a Paragraph.

"What is the Object of Lifep" is the
question asked by Professor G. j. Ro-
names in The Forum. A flippant par
agrapher gives this answer: 'One Of
the chief objects is to live poor and die
rich, that those who come after you
may live rich and die poor"
1t Is an ugly way Of putting it, but
the Photographer made his cutting little
sentence speak volumes.
One reason why Americans break
down shortly after middle age is be-
cause they ''live poor" in more ways
than one. They may enjoy the luxuries
of life, but their business is largely
made up of hurry and worry.
IL does not pay. Men should enjoy
their full share OF the sweets of exist
ence as they go along. They are not
bound to make themselves miserable
on account of prosperity. 1t is COM
medable thing for a man to strive to
leave a competency to his family, but
an ambition to accumulate an immense
fortune for his heirs is very different
matter. atlanta Constitution.

Why Mormons are Denied
PASSES.

II may not be generally known that
among those who have been deprived
of railroad passes under the new or
der of things are the elders of the Nor
mon church. Owing to the peculiar
wording of the law. which permits free
transportation to ministers Of religion.
the deciples of Brigham Young are
denied the privilege which are still cx-
tendea in the matter of reduced fares
to othodox clergymen. The Mormon
elders are not regularly ordained min
listers. and consequently are not in
charge of regularly stated congrega-
tons contiguous to lines over which
reduced rates are requested; hence the
denial of the benefits referred to.
What effect this has had upon Mormon
ovangelization 1t would be hard TO tell.
but that il has materially increased
the expenses OF that sect
may be gathered from the frequentre-
ports Of its members indefatigable Ia
